“Uh huh,” acknowledged Huo Yao. “Tell them they are not fit for my treatment.”

The moment she finished her sentence, she hung up the phone before Fu Cheng could speak.

They had resorted to underhanded means to drive her biological mother out of the Song family. Song Qi even threatened Huo Yao to leave town by showing her damning photos of Song Ning. They were simply audacious. How could they expect her to help treat Old Master Song?

What were they thinking?

Huo Yao pursed her lips. She looked up and saw Min Yu coming back with something in his hand, so her expression softened.

“Why are you done already?” Min Yu handed Huo Yao a cup of milk tea. He was still wearing a black mask, so only his gorgeous eyes could be seen. However, his aura remained cool.

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao did not explain and simply placed her phone back in her pocket. She was about to pierce the straw into the lid when Min Yu helped her.

“This is our first milk tea for winter,” said Min Yu softly.

Huo Yao drank some milk tea before she raised her brow and looked at him. “Isn’t it still autumn?”

Min Yu reached his hand out to rub her head before straightening her coat collar. “You will have to wait for next year.”

Huo Yao nodded. The warm milk tea helped to warm her. She straightened herself and said, “Let’s go.”

“Uh huh,” acknowledged Min Yu before unlocking the car door.

Huo Yao’s phone rang in her pocket again. She continued holding the cup of milk tea with hardly any expression on her face. She had no intention of answering her phone.

Min Yu glanced at Huo Yao. Although she looked normal, there was something different about her. He asked as he opened the front passenger seat car door. “Aren’t you going to answer your phone?”

Huo Yao shrugged her shoulders. “I don’t feel like answering it.”

Min Yu nodded and said, “Just ignore it then.”

“Uh huh.” Huo Yao bent over and sat inside the car.

Min Yu closed the door for her and walked around the car to get in. He raised his eyes and saw Zhu and Butler Wang looking for someone in the parking lot, but he quickly averted his eyes and got into the car.

He started the engine and the car quickly left the parking lot.

After the phone rang in Huo Yao’s pocket once, it stopped ringing altogether.

Zhu turned around and noticed something amiss with Butler Wang’s expression. Butler Wang kept looking in a direction without moving. Zhu curiously turned to look as well and asked quizzically. “Butler Wang, what are you looking at?”

Zhu had also seen Huo Yao but did not pay much attention to her and simply focused on waiting for the physician to arrive.

Butler Wang snapped out of his thoughts and color returned to his slightly blanched face. He shook his head. “No… nothing.”

Was she Song Ning’s daughter?

This was simply such a coincidence.

Zhu pondered. Since Butler Wang was looking in the direction of Huo Yao’s car, he asked instinctively. “Did you see Miss Huo?”

Butler Wang looked at Zhu and was caught by surprise. “Miss Huo?”

“Uh huh. I mean Miss Ning’s daughter,” explained Zhu with his lips pursed in disdain.

Butler Wang had just calmed down but he quickly felt worried again. This time, his voice trembled slightly. “Was that woman really Miss Ning’s daughter?”

Zhu failed to detect the tremble in Butler Wang’s voice. He simply nodded and answered casually. “Uh huh.”
